Orb Mix Heating Vessel

• Mixing and heating liquid or semi-liquid food products such as sauces, soups, and gravies.
• Processing dairy products including yoghurts, custards, and cheese bases.
• Preparing confectionery items like syrups, jams, and fillings.
• Blending and heating ingredients for pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulations.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 to 1,000 litres, depending on the specific model and intended use.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power draw based on heating element size and motor capacity.

Heating method

Orb Mix vessels commonly utilise jacketed heating, often steam or hot water, for even and controlled temperature distribution.

Agitation system

Most Orb Mix units feature an integrated agitator, typically with variable speed control, suitable for a range of product viscosities.

Construction material

For food processing applications, these vessels are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316), ensuring hygiene and durability.

Temperature control

Units commonly include integrated temperature probes and control systems for precise process management.

• What kind of products is an Orb Mix Heating Vessel suitable for?

  These vessels are generally suitable for a wide range of liquid and semi-liquid products requiring heating, mixing, or cooking, particularly in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used heating vessel?

• Can this vessel be used for cooling as well as heating?
